Independent Projects
Founder
PredictCrypto.com
Boulder, CO
2020 - 2018
- Ongoing independent project where I look at the drivers of cryptocurrency price changes and test different trading strategies. The point of the project is to boost my own learning by exploring interesting topics and tools in data science, by creating tutorials that teach people programming. What’s unique about my tutorials however, is that they are designed to use data that is never more than 1 hour old, and to provide interesting tutorials that also happen to create semi-live predictive models that could actually be used to make trades on the cryptocurrency markets. In fact, I currently use these completely automated systems to perform trades, and I currently have the capability of having automated trading systems run for 4 separate exchanges at once using 4 different XGBoost models. I have outlined this entire process step by step in an Alteryx Use Case that was approved and published: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Use-Cases/Predicting-and-Trading-on-the-Cryptocurrency-Markets-using/ta-p/494058
